Exosomes
Exosomes | DermaDocs Parkside Adelaide
Exosome treatments at DermaDocs Skin Cancer Clinic in Parkside, Adelaide are used as an adjunct to selected skin treatments, supporting the skin’s natural recovery and renewal processes. Exosomes may also be used topically on the scalp as part of an approach to hair and scalp rejuvenation.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are very small extracellular vesicles released by cells that are involved in communication between cells. They can carry signalling molecules, including proteins and RNA, which are involved in processes relating to tissue repair and cellular function.
In aesthetic medicine, exosome-based products may be used as topical adjuncts following procedures that intentionally stimulate the skin, such as microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling.
The aim is to support the skin’s natural recovery and repair processes following treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Exosome treatments described for aesthetic use are topical rather than injectable.
The product is applied directly to the treatment area, commonly after another skin procedure where the treatment plan calls for an adjunctive topical application.
The exact treatment process and whether exosomes are appropriate will depend on your clinical assessment.
